lirik lagu robert newton - man

Loading...

weighing the steadfastness and state
of some mean things which here below reside
where birds like watchful clocks the noiseless date
and intercourse of times divide;
where bees at night get home and hive, and flowers
early, as well as late
rise with the sun, and set in the same bowers;

i would, said i, my god would give
the staidness of these things to man! for these
to his divine appointments ever cleave
and no new business breaks their peace;
the birds nor sow nor reap, yet sup and dine;
the flowers without clothes live
yet solomon was never dressed so fine

man hath still either toys or care;
he hath no root, nor to one place is tied
but ever restless and irregular
about this earth doth run and ride;
he knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where;
he says it is so far
that he hath quite forgot how to go there

he knocks at all doors, strays and roams
nay, hath not so much wit as some stones have
which in the darkest nights point to their homes
by some hid sense their maker gave;
man is the shuttle, to whose winding quest
and passage through these looms
god ordered motion, but ordained no rest
